Questionable Assault.

Yesterday afternoon row occurred
at the Harmony Gardens, on San Fer.
nando street, wherein John Bush drew a
pistol and threatened to shoot Paul
Haenel. At the city prison Bush, who
was evidently trifie the worse for
Liquor, stated that he had been
Jumped" by six men and in order to
save his life he had drawn his gun
which he had carried for six years and
bad never badssa chance to use. Haenel
stated that he was doing nothing when
Bush drew his pistol and pointed it at
him. Bush was charged with an assault
with deadly weapon, and Haenel and
a companion were bound over IN $40
each as witnesses. Bush was bailed out

PREACHERS MEETING.
Question of a Litany Discussed.
Committees Appointed.


The regular meeting of the Preachers
Association Of the M. e. Church was
held yesterday at the University Build
ing by invitation of Judge R. M. Wild
ney. There was large attendance in
the new. spacious and beautiful rooms
which are to be in future the place of
meeting of the association.
Interesting questions of church polity
were ably discussed, and the subject OF
ritual came in for large share of at.
tention. After the discussion, it was
resolved, by vote, to extend the discus.
sion to the next meeting, Monday, April
18th, and the following members were
chosen to discuss the question: Rev. s.
J. Fleming on the affirmative, and Rev.
Il. E. Robinson on the negative. There
appears to be steady movement to-
wards the adoption of liturgical service
in all TIE Protestant churches in Amer
lea, and the meeting yesterday fairly in
dicated that tendency. A report of the
Easter services was presented and entry
made thereof. The meeting then ad
iourned till Monday. April Is, 1887.

An Anecdote of Fredrika Bremen.

Fredrika Bremen, who visited Charles
ton prior to this period, did so with
very peculiar and exaggerated ideas of
her institutions. Meeting an old darby
woman on the street one day, she said /:
"Auntie, is it true that you eat
worms?"
"Me eat wurrums, missisl Ny ord,
whar dis buckra oman come from No,
man, doesn't eat wurrums, but when
Pse dead an gone de wurrums will eat

ask, DO you live under ground? I've

changed in regard to the relative posi-
tions of master and slave.-Brookly1t

Having Fun with NickeIs.

In some of the ST. Louis one-horse
cars there are brass nickel carriers that
run the whole length of the car. From
any part of the car you can drop a
nickel into ono of these carriers and
then watch it as it rolls along on its
edge down the incline and finally goes
rafting into he fare box. j saw wild
Western ranchman come into car,
and, after putting his fare in the ordi-
nary way, he noticed a newcomer drop
n nickel down the elevated railway
The device aroused his utmost admira-
ton. He at once changed a couple of
dollars into tive-cent pieces. Then he
took his place at the door and started
two nickels simultaneously down each
side of the car and offered to accept
bets as to which would get into the
fare-box first. He kept this up until
his - worth of coin was gone, and
wound up by saying, "Wall, that's the
durndest continuance L ever see. -

How Knife Blades Are Made.

The blades of the very cheap pocket
knives are punched in dies from sheet
steel. but those for first-class- pocket
cutlery are hand-forged, a good work
ingman being able to forge from twen-
ty-fve to thirty large blades, or about
forty pen blades per hour. There is q
pattern and gauge furnished the forger
for each sort of blade, but the expert
enced workman rarely refers to either,
lbs accuracy of eye and skill of hand
being sufficient guides to exactness
The blades come from the hand Of the
smith perfect in form, except the bevel
of the back intended TO guide engaging
blades, this bevel being formed by
grinding. The steel used in these fine
blades is Wardlow's (English), or the
best American make.
AS they come from the FORCES the
blades are "choiled, or filed, TO make
a nick between the blade and the tang.
The blades are tempered, having re-
ceived the trademark stamp on the
tang under press. The hardening is
done i'll an ordinary coke fire, the
operator heating two at a time and
plunging them in cold water. The
drawing to temper is also done over a
coke fire. The blades are ground on
Sheffield and Nova Scotia stones,
"glazed" on emery wheels, honed or
Set" and finally are polished on
wheels of walrus hide fed with rotten
stone. boston BlJdget.

Preventive Of Hydrophobia.

Mr.. Jacob Streamer, druggist, of
Pontiac, ILL.,, sends the following cure
or preventive of hydrophobia, which
was discovered 10y a distinguished
French physician: Take two table
spoonfuls of fresh chloride Of lime. in
powder, mix it well with half pint of
water, and with this wash keep the
wound constantly bathed and FIRE Iuent-
ly renewed. The chlorine of gas pos
sesses the power of decomposing this
tremendous poison, and rendering mild
and harmless that venom against whose
resistless attacks the medical science
has been so long directed in vain. 1t
is necessary to add that this wash
should be applied as soon as possible
after the infliction of the bite. The
following are the results of this treat
ment: From 1910 to lo2i the number
of persons admitted into Breslau Il os-
pital was 1Si, of whom only two died !;
from 1888 to 1924, Of the number adj
mitted into the hospital at Zurich 2 3
persons were bitten bv different ami
mails (1S2 by dogs, of whom only four
died.

Married or Single!

Mr.. Charles Dudley Warmers humor-
GUS presentation in Harper'S Maya
zine of the difficulty in continuing a
woman's identity with her maiden
name, after it is merged in that of her
husband, calls attention, incidentally,
to a real difficulty in deciding, when a
woman is to be addressed by letter, as
to whether she is married or has been
married. This will be recognized as
having often occasioned embarrass-
ment, and sometimes ludicrous and
even awkward results. A charming
young lady of this city not long since,
who had hardly reached her teens,
found letter in the postofiice directed
to her with the address, of b. Hobart,
Esq. eve do not, of course, give the
real surname). The greatest difficulty
in the matter is that SINGLE women are
often offended in having it supposed
that they are married. and married
women are in worse state of mind, if
possible, at the suggestion that they
are still in a state of single blessedness.
The Springfield Republican suggests
that it is allowable and proper for
every woman, in addressing a stranger,
to sign herself with her proper title in
parenthess before the name. 1t holds,
indeed, that to omit it, in fact, is hard
ly proper. Time will be required to
educate women to the point of realiz-
ing this, but it will be an aid to others
and may save themselves some NORTH
cation if they take this course. BoS-

The Picture Frames of Commerce.

Among the incidents of a fitting, or
of unfurnishing house, few things
leave so disagreeable an impression of
dilapidation as the row of framed pic
lures, large and small, which, taken from
their nails, are laid resting on the
ground leaning against one another,
their faces ANONYMOUSLY turned to the
wall. Then we see revealed pretense
and shabbiness in little; the mean edg-
ings of wood; the miserable tacks
which keep the thin boarding in its
place; the meager strip of brown paper
pasted round; the cheap bending rings !;
the bit Of red string; the square of
loose glass; the glue all making up q
sort of "rickety" combination. Such
are the picture frames of commerce
the adornment of every correct house,
and which exhibit painfully their make
shift character. They are indeed
things of shreds and patches; every
principle of sound construction is vio-
lated In their manufacture The frame
proper, too weak to hold the glass and
blackboard, and being further weakened
by the growing, is kept together at
the corners 10y glue and tack, while
the thin boarding of the back is held
in lis place by row of tacks driven
under awkward strokes of the hammer.
Finally the engraving is squeezed fast
between the glass and the backing,
sandwichwise. -Art Journal.

Altogether Too Particular.

A guest at II hotel in Florida tasted of
the butter and asked what it was. The
servant didn't know, and the head
waiter was called. He protested his
ignorance, and the guest sought the
landlord.

probably represents butter"
But don't you know?"

tleman out and introduce him to the
steward, and see that it is charged ex-
ira in his bill. "

Nothing is SO unnatural or SO full of
danger as the habit of easy and familiar
companionship with people who are
only known under the conditions of
what is called Society" conditions
which imply mutual complaisance up
to a certain point very easily reached,
conventional ease of manner, courteous
frankness of speech which need not be
very deep, superH cial mutual intelli-
gence which seldom knows how far it
enetrates-though it enjoys the evil
dence of having penetrated further
than was expected = and alacrity in dis
corning and complying with the wishes
of others. The danger consists n the
facility with which the companionship
of this kind is taken for true intimacy,
though it does not really imply any
tn ng approaching to it. A woman
will sometimes marry man of whom
she knows nothing at all except that
she found it pleasant to be hattered
and admired by him during COM
partnership of this superficial kind. In
other words, she will trust her
life to the keeping of a man
of whose aims, of whose standard
Of right and wrong, of whose power
and habit of living up to that standard
she knows Just as much and Just as lit
tie as she does of the actors she has
seen on the stage, though she is de-
ceived into thinking that she knows
more, only because she happens in this
case to have been one of the actors,
and not merely passive spectator.
Society is, indeed, sort of expedient
for rubbing off the natural and whole
sale reserves which keep people from
trusting each other till they have had
real experience of what each is made
of-till they have seen what are the
objects of reverence, what is the depth
of reverence, what is the force of prac-
teal fidelity to the higher aims that
determine the true character working
behind the familiar forms and faces of
so-called society. The surface of the
sea on a calm and sunny day is as little
of an index to the dangers which the
sea may cause, as the familiar manner
of mere society to the deeper influences
which those who mingle in that society
can exert. 1t would be as wise to
drink the deadly juices of the belladon-
ma because of the beauty of the night
shades flowers, as to welcome intima-
cy with many of those whose manners
in general society are faultless and fas-
cinating, without knowing anything of
them beyond those manners. London
